CIRM BRIDGES InternAt — CIRM: UC San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute

Opportunity Summary 

Must be enrolled in BIOT 498 and a participant in the CIRM: Bridges to Stem Cell Research Program

Each program will feature CIRM-funded Research Internships in which trainees participate in stem cell related research projects in internship-host laboratories. Internship-host labs can be at California non-profit doctorate granting research universities, (as defined by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching) or research institutes; or at California for-profit organizations. Internships cannot occur at the home institution. Internship-host labs must be engaged in stem cell or related research and provide a research intensive environment.

Opportunity Learning Outcomes 

Programs will develop auxiliary educational activities to prepare students for internships and to augment the internship experience. Examples of such enhancements include seminar series, supplementary courses, and tissue culture training and specialized workshops. CIRM Bridges Awards will also support the development and delivery of a general education course (targeted to the general student population) in Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine to be offered at the home institution.

Opportunity Training 

CIRM BRIDGES interns will receive a stem cell training class and also do research with a leading faculty member at UC San Diego. Programs must provide a Trainee Mentoring Plan that specifically describes how trainees will be advised and their progress assessed. Such a plan might include individual faculty sponsors at the home institution, individual mentoring committees with participation of the internship-host advisor, or other arrangements that provide for support and guidance of the trainees. The Trainee Mentoring Plan should also describe the frequency and nature of student assessment and plans for advising trainees on career and further educational opportunities.
